Carving A Bamboo Pit Viper And Cicada Walking Cane
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This Bamboo-shaped walking cane with a Bamboo Pit Viper Snake and Cicada bug, is completely carved from a single piece of wood and airbrushed and hand painted. I hope you enjoy a glimpse into the life and sentiments of Northwest wood carver, Mike Stinnett as he shows his carving and painting process.

The thing is that..... you're only the cicada if you want to be the cicada.
The carving itself is always a work of art but I am particularly impressed with how you made this wood look like bamboo, it's just beautiful

The quality of his work, Mr Stinnet, stands on its own. His presentation of what and how he is doing it, is captivating. After watching a couple of his videos, his gentle spirit draws you into his world. You walk away as you have found a new best friend with his easy going speech, lil anecdotes and his faithful companion, Merle. He is living the life most of us would enjoy, at his pace...thank you sir, I always come away very calm and enriched.
You are not just an artist. You are amazing, a GENIUS. Could you make a centipede? I think so, you are amazing. Best youtube channel.

Your work is by far the best i have ever seen im disabled and have a hard time getting around walking due to my legs being crushed it pains me every time my son wants to go fishing with me because i really cant go with him anymore if possible id like to inquire on much you would charge for a special order cane if its not to much to ask and watching you with pearl brought joy to my very heart keep up the good work and god bless.
Watching you create never gets old, I’m always amazed.
Hello from east Tennessee! I love watching you make art, you are very blessed. There's nothing better than sitting outside and woodworking, I enjoy it myself. It's simple, uncomplicated, and I can talk to God while I'm at it. Thanks for being an inspiration!
Stunning as usual, no better way to relax than watching you carve. Thanks Mike and pearl.

I have arthritis in both hips and one day I will need a cane and it’s going to be a cool cane like this and most likely bought from this fellow Stinnett!
You have an incredible talent and undoubtedly the best way to pass the time while this virus thing is going on. How you were able to detail the iridescent wings on the cicadoidea is amazing. Your snake carvings look way more realistic and lifelike than any taxidermy I’ve seen. I’ll be looking forward to your next video post.

I love how you got the cicada wings to look feathery and translucent. Very well done! When you first mentioned you were going to do a cicada , my first thought running through my head was how you would make the wings look as realistic and the snakes you carve... I wasn't disappointed at all

I seen many wood carvers, and i have to say this guy is sick #1 for his detailing, he's got to be best, its very rare to see such detailed work that's not machine made!
Me and my friend would watch you in class all the time and we used to joke about how we’ve never heard your voice
I have deep respect and admiration for snakes, mythical beings with peculiar color patterns. It is incredible how you manage to create that essence in the details of the scales and colors. a true work that reflects talent and dedication. :3:3
Your video made me think of my grandpa, God rest his soul. He had a few canes in his possession and even a cane sword, he would've loved watching you! I wanna look into woodcarving now because of how amazing this looks...i won't be as good, but i can sure try!
Hi Mr. Stinnett. I have watched your videos for a long time and every time I see one I think of how they should be in a museum. You are truly an artist. And a master carver at that. I hope we never forget your artistry. We appreciate you Sir. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your carving process. God bless.

My goodness Mike we have missed you and Pearl and although I could have watched this video yesterday I was too tired with being in the garden all day. I wanted to be fresh to watch in peace and quiet. Mind you Mike and family, its not loud anymore with the lockdown and only going to shop once a week and staying home the rest. Bamboo Viper wonderful, and the cicada too, no-one in the world of carving does this better, what a talent you have been gifted with, and little Pearl so patient on your knee and on her chair with her blanket so sweet. I know it takes you two to three weeks each cane, and doesn`t it show, see you next time Mike and family, Stay Safe.
A Great Salute to this man🙏, The patience and talent he have is Godly

Just finished watching 5 videos in one sitting. Creativity at its best. Loved it.
I love watching the detail put into these walking sticks😊😊😊
Your snake cane videos inspired me to take a wooden box I have been holding on to for a project and cover it in wood burned snake scales. I had to take take a big brass tip and make my own keeled "scale" for my cheap wood burning pen. My wife is a big Harry Potter fan so I burned the Slytherin House sigil into the lid and I stained if a dirty green color. She loved it! Love your videos!
